The medium IPRS-M Stabilizing Isolation Pad from Auray is a speaker decoupling system that is designed to tighten the response of your studio monitors by reducing reverberation and unwanted resonance, greatly improving your monitor speaker's performance. It is constructed of high-quality acoustic foam, a steel plate, and a thin layer of neoprene.

The IPRS-M features high-density, open-cell foam that decouples your monitor from its resting surface by absorbing the monitor's vibrations, eliminating the transmission of speaker-cabinet vibration to the surface they are resting on. In addition to its decoupling capabilities, the precision-cut steel plate prevents back to front speaker cabinet motion (recoil), by creating a surface too heavy for the monitor's recoil to move. The non-slip neoprene layer helps prevent resonance of the steel plate and keeps the monitor securely in place atop the Stabilizing Isolation Pad.

These three layers work together to prevent back-to-front speaker cabinet motion and eliminate the transmission of vibrations, resulting in a tighter and more accurate response, especially in the bottom end.

Stabilizes speaker cabinet and eliminates back-to-front motion

Isolates by preventing resonant coupling for greater depth of field

Tightens up the bass response for improved accuracy and allows for a higher level of detail across the frequency spectrum

Money well spent, would buy again.Currently I use the Auray pads in my home studio to support my Yamaha HS80m's. Previously I had my monitors sitting on top of a normal piece of foam. I added one of the Auray's at a time and could immediately tell the difference between the one with the isolation pad as compared to the normal foam. It dramatically reduce vibrations in the the desk. So the product works as advertised. Not listed but should be mentioned is the foam thickness. The narrow edge of the foam is 1 3/4 thick and tappers up to 2 3/4 thick. So far this product has met my expectations and I would not hesitate to order another pair.

Inferior Construction MaterialsI bought a pair of these isolation pads to put under my M-Audio DSM2 studio monitors. The isolation pads work well, but the adhesive is inferior that they use to hold the neoprene rubber non-slip pad on the top of the steel plate. On my pads, the neoprene rubber pad is lifting and curling up. The neoprene can be pushed back down again, and it will stick for a day, but then it will just lift and curl up again. I realize these are reasonably inexpensive pads, but the manufacturer could at least spend the extra penny on some better adhesive.

It Does Make a significant Difference!Wouldn't have believed it, but I sure do now. I'll never go without isolation pads for any of my monitors. Enough said.
